Yes, that is the scary thing about those COA's. A copy machine/printer can make a forger semi-credible on ebay at any moment.
The one consolation is that the autographed items I am seeing, with these COA's, are selling for pennies on the dollar. $12-$50 for Mantle, Williams, Dimaggio, Koufax and even for dual signed photos of those players. Some items of those guys I have seen offered at $29.99 and they dont even sell. So, the good news is that the ebay buyer is smartening up.
It also appears that many of the low prices realized sale items are winding up in the hands of another seller and then a few days later, the item appears again.
